3.HERITAGE FOUNDATION HIGHLIGHTS SUTHERLAND’S WORK

Sutherland published the SRI in Helping Utahns Help Themselves: A Self-Reliance Index, authored by Policy Analyst Matthew C. Piccolo, on July 22, 2010. The SRI is a tool that individuals, families, assistance agencies, and case workers can use to assess how self-reliant – and thereby how dependent – a family or individual is on others for survival, and to offer suggestions on how to become more self-reliant.

“With dependency on government at an all time high in America, the Sutherland Institute’s Self-Reliance Index is being introduced at a crucial time. The Self-Reliance Index should change the way Americans look at the issue of poverty, because a self-reliant person isn’t poor, but one dependent on the government is.”
